-=====Signing of daily entries=====
+====== Signing in the Mobile App ======
-The mobile version offers several options for signing records and daily logs. These options differ in terms of the effort required (especially during the preparation phase) and their usability in potential legal disputes. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the signing method that is most suitable for the given log.
+Buildary has 2 levels of signing:
-<WRAP tip>
+  * In the **Other entries** section, where each record author should sign their own record. The option to sign a record is available in the context menu of each additional record, and only the author of the record can sign it.
-Signing in the mobile app is exceptionally easy. Therefore, we recommend that all users install the mobile app, even if they are making entries in the web application.
+  * **Daily Report**, where signing locks the entire day. All Other entries for the given day must be signed before the Daily Report can be signed. The option to sign the day is available in the day's context menu.
+<WRAP round tip>
+The signing method is configured in the user account. If you have configured your signing method through the web application, the same settings remain valid when logging in to the same account through the mobile app. Likewise, if you change the signing settings in the mobile app, the change will also be reflected in the web interface.

-==== Signature of a record or daily report ====
+===== Signature Settings =====
-The procedure for signing a single record and a daily report is the same. In the menu of a Other entries (three dots on the record) or in the Day menu (three dots in the header), select “Sign Record” or “Sign Day.” In the following window, you will see information about the certificate that will be used according to your settings. The graphical appearance of the signature will also be displayed. The signature will be executed on your mobile device (in compliance with security requirements for electronic signatures), and the signed file will be automatically uploaded to the server.

-<WRAP info>
+If the settings were configured through the web interface, those settings, including the signature appearance, also apply to the mobile app. By default, signing via an external application is selected.
-When signing for the first time, if you have not set the appearance of your signature, you will be asked to configure it.

+**To change the signing settings, go to Menu → Settings → Signature Settings in the app.** \\
-==== Signature Configuration ====
+The window offers ****4 possible signing methods****:
-{{:en:diary:signature_settings.png?400 |}}
+  * **Buildary Certificate** - a NON-QUALIFIED certificate will be used. You need to select the signature appearance below.
-In the Signature Settings window, you can configure your signature according to the available options. You can either Draw the signature or choose an Image, such as a scan of your handwritten signature. In both cases, it is only a graphical representation of the signature, not an electronic signature itself.
+  * **Qualified Certificate** - the selected certificate issued by a certification authority and exported to the mobile device will be used. When selecting the certificate, you need to locate the PFX file in the device storage. After entering the correct password, the certificate will be uploaded to Buildary. You need to select the signature appearance below.
+  * **I.CA Service** - available only to holders of a qualified certificate issued by I.CA on a secure device who have activated this service with I.CA. You need to select the signature appearance below.
+  * **Sign in an External Application** - Buildary generates a document in PDF format, which the user opens in an external application that allows them to sign it, and then uploads it back to Buildary. The signature appearance is not configured here. Its appearance is created by the external signing application.
-If you use the Buildary certificate, no additional configuration is needed from your side.
+****Signature Appearance**** - must be configured for the first 3 signing methods. There are 3 options:
-If you choose the Custom Certificate option, you will need to select a certificate.
+  * **//Image + Text//** - the graphical signature will contain an image (a selected file or a graphical signature created using the "Draw" option) and a text component, which the application automatically adds using the current data: the user's name (according to the currently logged-in user) and their role in the Project Diary being signed.
-In the window that opens, browse to select the PFX file containing your signing certificate. After selecting it, you will be prompted to enter the password to use the certificate. Once entered, the certificate will be uploaded to Buildary, ensuring it is protected against potential misuse. You can safely delete the PFX file after importing it into Buildary.
+  * **//Image//** - the graphical signature will contain only an image, either a selected file or a graphical signature created using the "Draw" option.
+  * **//Text//** - the graphical signature will contain only a text component, which the application automatically adds using the current data: the user's name (according to the currently logged-in user) and their role in the Project Diary being signed.
+<WRAP round tip>
+If the signing settings have been changed, you need to reload the diary for the changes to take effect.
